Scratch it

I bought a silver one to try and avoid this issue.

Same, I had a dark blue one on order and changed it to be Silver, just in case.

Not sure if true but I’ve seen a few sites reporting that Apple are dialling back Air production due to low sales figures.

iPhone Air looks great, but what people want is good cameras and battery life.
The regular iPhone 17 is selling well, according to reports.

It is great. Regularly getting 10h sot with 25-30% remaining.

Still loving my iPhone Air, battery life is totally fine for my usage. Im only on my 16th cycle since launch day. I have an official free Apple MagSafe Battery Pack just in case, but I have even used it yet or had the need to. Camera is acceptable for a casual snap. I can see why a wide angle would be nice though.

It’s the single speaker of all things that puts me off the Air.

It’s actually fine, for my use anyway. (YouTube videos in bed mostly)

Gone for a 17 pro max from a 13 pro max

Due next week hopefully

 

[Robert]

What cases have people gone with?

Looking at:

Caudabe synthesis frost
Mous limitless 7.0

Apparently the magnets in the mous are a bit rubbish this time (according to mobile reviews eh) which is putting me off

The magnets in my mous case are so strong my wireless charger rips the phone outta my hand.

Is that the 17 pro max case though?

Oh no, sorry, air case.

I just went for the lint magnet in black from Apple this year to match my 17 - picked it up from Amazon for £29.

I personally don’t see the appeal of the super expensive third party cases and I always end up going through 3 or 4 cheaper ones before inevitably getting an Apple case down the line so this year I just went straight for the Apple option and have done with it.

That’s my experience with phone cases as well, also if they do break ring apple and they’ll replace free of charge even after 2 years

Curses, order still at processing. Was hoping for a stroke of luck and to get it earlier than estimated.

 

[Robert]

Apple do an in store belkin one for £35. If it breaks you can request a free replacement. My wife did it last year.

Flolab are the business

 

[Robert]

Preparing to ship!!

 

[Robert]

Shipped! I get far too excited by gadgets!

So with the update, after a few days on 26.1 the battery has improved. I’m on 6 hours SoT with 52% left in the tank.

Delivered, though DPD posted it. Letter box is half way up the door. Would rather they don’t, but sure it’ll be fine
